[feature request] Increase user size to 32 characters to support a GUID

[mdisg]

The current user size as stated in the SDK Version v0.15.0 is limited to 30 characters. Could you please increase that to support at least 32 characters so that a GUID (without the hyphens) can be used to identify users? Is that possible?

More about GUIDs

• RFC 4122
• Universally unique identifier

Our software uses GUIDs for user identification so it would be good to also use the existing ID of users in our system within the real sense device for identification.

Hi @mdisg

We will have to investigate to see what are the tradeoffs in increasing ID size. Any increase does impact on device memory size which could have an impact on the number of users that can be stored on device.

@RealSenseSupport I understand that. If increasing the size is not possible another way could be to allow the user id to be specified binary. A GUID has a total byte size of 16 so it would already fit into your current 30 character field size.

@RealSenseSupport @gabime is there anything new about the investigation? We are planning the integration of the F455 unit and need that information for our decissions.
